National Cybersecurity Awareness Act: Permanent Digital Safety Education for Citizens.

This law mandates the CISA agency to establish a continuous, nationwide educational program aimed at teaching citizens how to protect their data and devices from cyber threats. Through this program, every American will gain access to free, up-to-date tools and resources designed to enhance digital security, such as guides for strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. The goal is to build a more robust national cybersecurity posture through public knowledge, focusing on equitable outreach to vulnerable communities.
Key points
Establishment of a permanent, year-round national cybersecurity education program, moving beyond annual awareness campaigns.
CISA must create a publicly available, regularly updated online repository of free resources and tools for digital protection.
The program focuses on equitable outreach, ensuring small businesses, low-income, and rural communities receive necessary cybersecurity awareness information.
